Canadian-Banknotes Pillar of the Community Canada 4944 Posts	Posted 10/08/2012 7:55 pm I took two sets of pictures for the Morgan dollar that I have for sale, and I was wondering which set you thought looked better. Set 1 Set 2 Report this Post to the Staff

Canadian-Banknotes Pillar of the Community Canada 4944 Posts	Posted 10/08/2012 8:37 pm The one thing that bothers me about set one, is that it is slightly out of focus. (Near the date) Report this Post to the Staff
CaptainFwiffo Pillar of the Community United States 4132 Posts	Posted 10/08/2012 10:06 pm I like #1 over #2, but I think a #1 could be improved by being a bit brighter. Report this Post to the Staff
noahs-numismatics Pillar of the Community Canada 3167 Posts	Posted 10/08/2012 11:17 pm Set 2 has sharper detail and makes the strike look sharper (but I dont know if the coin really has that) My preference only! Report this Post to the Staff
rmpsrpms Pillar of the Community United States 4038 Posts	Posted 10/09/2012 10:54 am Other than it being smaller, I find #2 superior. It's sharper, has better overall exposure, and also better shadow detail. For Morgans, you need to be careful with light positioning to avoid the "circles under the eyes" effect that #1 shows.

CaptainFwiffo Pillar of the Community United States 4132 Posts	Posted 10/10/2012 10:20 am Looking at them again, #2 is sharper, but the image is also smaller, so it's hard to make a direct comparison. The reason why I didn't care for #2 was the clipped highlights. Report this Post to the Staff
